I'm not real up on how the het and mono dating world handles things, but aren't you supposed to to either be banging or have a 'we're not having sex with anyone, we're saving that for us' conversation with someone before you consider yourself exclusive? Asking someone who you're not having sex with if they're cheating on you just seems weird to me, like if I was playing chess with one person and asked someone else if she was cheating at the chess game she's not even in.

Since dude is ace and misses social cues, I hope he picks up a habit of explicitly negotiating whether he's in a relationship or not, otherwise this won't be the last experience with that kind of awkward conversation.
